Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
It's getting hotter than 330. It expands when it gets too hot. Make sure you have the proper temp, has to stay lower than 330.
wait.... 330 degrees is "To Hot"?Most everyone must be overcooking inks then.......
depends on the ink!I have had some whites that need a solid 340 to cure to the point where they will pass a stretch test, and I have had some that will pass it all day long at 300. Some poly white will pass the stretch test at 280 even with a super thick deposit... Temps measured a foot or so into the outfeed of the tunnel with a laser temp gun. I religiously use the temp gun on every print run I do...disclaimer: Stretch test has always worked the best for me when it comes to judging prints. If they can pass that right off the belt, they will always pass wash tests etc as well in my experience. Fail the stretch test, fail the other tests too.edit: Just wanted to add to jason's comment about over curing. The only bad thing about over curing is puffing or extra gloss as far as I have seen. Definitely never seen a brittle print even with random dryer temp spikes (which do happen on my ancient National dryer). The worst that will happen is the underbase will bubble a bit and the final hand is rough, but usually even then it isn't too noticeable and will only happen on a handful of shirts during the spike.
Thanks for all of the input, Joe contacted me and informed me of the same. I will work on dialing in my cure for this ink, I have a small dryer so it can be finicky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
